Visualising 5d

So for some unknown reason I have been thinking about visualizing many-dimensional arrays. Its fairly easy to picture 1-3 dimensional arrays (a list for 1d, a table for 2d, a cube for 3d), But thats where its starts to get tricky…

So this is what Ive come up with

For a 4d array, thats easy enough because time is the 4th dimension (so an array declared with the following: Dim fourdarray(5, 5, 5, 5) would be a cube with 5x5x5 units at time 5)

For a 5d array: I’m just making up stuff now, but hey it works, think of the 5th dimension as a place (so an array declared with the following: Dim fivedarray(5, 5, 5, 5,5 ) would be a cube with 5x5x5 units at place 5 at time 5)

That is it for this random rants of the moment, stay tuned, something cool is gonna be announced sometime in the next 48 hours, and I’m not just meaning the apple announcement (its not that extravagant, but it will be exciting…)
